The single was released through Music for Nations in the UK and France. The Jewish holiday Passover is celebrated to commemorate the 'passing over' of the Angel of Death. 'Blood, lamb's blood painted door I shall pass'Ī reference to the forewarning given to the Israelites by God before the final plague the Israelites were commanded to paint their doors with lamb's blood so that the Angel of Death would know to pass over their homes while reaping the souls of the firstborn. The seventh plague of Egypt, during which burning hail rained from the skies over Egypt. The ninth plague of Egypt, during which the sun was blotted out for three days and darkness fell over all of Egypt. The first plague of Egypt, during which the water in the Nile River turned to blood. 'Blood, Running red and strong, down the Nile' This was done in response to the Pharaoh's order to throw every Israelite baby boy into the Nile River. The final plague of Egypt, during which the firstborn son of every non-Israelite, including the Pharaoh's son, is killed by the 'Destroyer'. The references to the plagues in the song include: To punish Pharaoh for his obstinacy, God set ten plagues upon Egypt. For the previous 400 years, the Hebrew people had lived as slaves in the Land of Goshen within Egypt. Moses, through his older brother Aaron, insisted he was sent by God and repeatedly demanded that Pharaoh should set the Hebrew slaves free from Egypt to the promised land of Canaan. The song is told from the perspective of the 'Destroyer', the Angel of Death sent by God during the Tenth Plague of Egypt. Kirk Hammett had seen the picture hanging up at Petty's house and remarked that it would be perfect for the single and picture-disk that were about to be finished. The logo and the song's title were added with a plastic layover to the existing artwork. The single release's artwork was done by Alvin Petty. The band liked the sound of 'creeping death' and decided to write a song about the plagues, with the phrase as its title. While watching the scene of the final plague killing every Egyptian first-born child, Cliff Burton remarked 'Whoa – it's like creeping death', as the plague was represented by a fog rolling into the Pharaoh's palace. Metallica was inspired for the song by the second half of the film The Ten Commandments, which is based on the Bible tale of the Plagues of Egypt. The song was called 'Die by His Hand' and had been part of the Exodus setlist for live shows, but was never used on any Exodus albums. The middle section, with its ominous chants of 'Die!' set to a Phrygian mode chord progression, was originally written by Hammett while he was in Exodus. Kirk Hammett wrote the guitar riff for the bridge section when he was 16 years old. It is often thought of as one of the band’s most popular songs and is currently the second-most-played song live by them. Written from the perspective of the Angel of Death, 'Creeping Death' describes the tenth plague of Egypt. It was released on November 23, 1984, as the lead and only commercial single from their album Ride the Lightning (' Fade to Black' and ' For Whom the Bell Tolls', from the same album, were issued as promotional singles). Sadly, during production Elizabeth passed,' says John Corabi.' Creeping Death' is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. He began developing the event while his wife was in her battle with Stage 4 Breast Cancer as a way to honor her, give her a night of great music, brighten up her day, raise money to fund an end of life trip and pay for cancer related bills.
